I had my wedding here! Every single aspect was perfect thanks to COMFORT - especially Stacey, Niki & Phoenix. Stacey did almost all of the decorating for me, making wedding planning way less stressful. The food was INCREDIBLE & the atmosphere was exactly what I described during our planning meeting. Having a huge bridal suite to get ready in made the day go even smoother. I highly recommend this venue to anyone planning a wedding! I am still blown away and extremely grateful.

Recent ex employee here. My time at the comfort was short lived. Let me tell you though. The management (besides Autumn), this is about Amanda, is an absolute joke. I have a full time job that requires me to work three, twelve hour shifts a week, and every other weekend. I stated this in my interview. I've been doing this job for many years, so I know what's required of me. Well Amanda did not take me serious and only wrote down what she wanted to hear. I will be posting pictures as proof. She started scheduling me 6 days a week. Would not let me find out my other schedule, and then told me I was a liar and I was lazy, while I was waiting on someone at a table. When I was the one who found coverage for all my shifts I HAD TO GIVE UP. Extremely unprofessional. Then told other staff members that she would fight me if I kept being catty. The only things I had said about her, was that she completely disregard my availability. Then tried to write me up for cutting a table off, after the bar manager and I both agreed they needed to be cut off. Tried to say I was rude to them and etc. I was only at the table to deliver and present a bottle, because the server was under 21, was not even my table. Then after I quit and before I could walk out, she wanted me to sign a termination paper. I was not terminated, I quit. She is trying to cover her own rear end. I have to say, I wouldn't recommend this place for employment nor to dine out at.

They offer breakfast lunch and dinner!

I've heard so many good things from my fellow aviation crew members. Everyone has raved about the porkchops here, but I had already eaten a burger down the street at another restaurant. My fellow FA Nick and I had plans to meet up w/ our CA and FO for a drink. I ended up ordering an awesome blackberry margarita and the king crab stuffed mushrooms starter after browsing the menu and snacking on the strawberry butter and rolls. Unfortunately, the king crab stuffed mushrooms were not at all what I expected. They were more like cream cheese stuffed mushroom minus any kine of crab. With that said, our waitress and staff were very pleasant and accommodating. I can't wait to visit this restaurant again and give those famous porkchops a taste.

(Traducido por Google) Excelente comida y ambiente. Nuestro servidor también fue excelente.Le habría dado 5 estrellas en todos los ámbitos si no fuera por el hecho de que tardaron tanto en sentarse a pesar de que había varias mesas disponibles. Casi parecía como si no fuera una cuestión de disponibilidad de asientos, sino más bien de no poder decidir DÓNDE querían que nos sentáramos. Después de largas discusiones entre tres o cuatro personas, finalmente nos sentamos en una mesa que había estado disponible todo el tiempo.(Original)Great food and atmosphere. Our server was also excellent.I would have given 5 stars across the board if not for the fact that it took so long to be seated even though there were several tables available. It almost seemed as if it wasn't a matter of seating availability, as much as not being able to decide WHERE they wanted us to sit. After lengthy discussions between three or four people, we were finally seated at a table that had been available the whole time.

(Traducido por Google) ¡El ambiente aquí es maravilloso! Es música tranquila, bonita, etc. He visto gente vestida de punta en blanco y también he visto gente entrar con jeans y polo. Me gusta que no haya código de vestimenta.He pedido un bistec dos veces aquí... ninguno de los bistecs salió como pedí... ni siquiera cerca. Los lados eran decentes. El primer filete me lo comí porque tenía que irme. Esta vez lo devolví.Pero aquí hay una gran oferta... la camarera (Alexis) fue muy atenta y casi de inmediato, Mike (GM) vino a nuestra mesa. Sentí que él me escuchó y deseaba sinceramente arreglar las cosas. Estoy muy impresionado con su manejo de los problemas. ¡Nos atendieron muy bien!Dicho esto, volveré. Quiero intentarlo de nuevo... porque el ambiente era fantástico y la comida en general era decente, pero sobre todo porque el personal y los gerentes aquí son auténticos.(Original)Ambience here is wonderful! It's quiet, pretty music, etc. I have seen people dressed to the nines and I have also seen people come in with jeans and polo. I like there's no dress code.I have ordered a steak twice here... neither steak came out like I ordered.. not even close. The sides were decent though. The first steak I just ate because I had to get going. This time, I sent it back.Huge deal here though... waitress (Alexis) was very attentive and nearly immediately, Mike (GM) came to our table. I felt like he heard me and was sincerely wanting to make it right. I'm very impressed with their handling of issues. They took very good care of us!With that being said, I will come back. I want to try it again... because the ambience was great and the food overall was decent, but mostly because the staff and managers here are the real deal.

My family of three visited during lunch time. The restaurant was not busy, and we were seated quickly. Our food selections were delicious and with generous portions. I feel the prices are above average. However, it is worth the experience every now and then.

(Traducido por Google) Mi esposo y yo hemos estado aquí antes, así que decidimos invitar a su compañía a cenar anoche. El lugar es hermoso, pero engaña un poco. ¡Teníamos entre 13 y 14 personas a las 6 pm un miércoles! Como mi esposo era anfitrión de sus empleados, llegamos alrededor de las 5:40. Nuestro camarero era Ashley y ella era amable, pero no podía mantenerse al día sola y le tomaba mucho tiempo cada recarga de bebida/reordenamiento de barra. El chef se dirigió a nuestra mesa para hablar con mi esposo sobre nuestra fiesta. Le dijo al chef que había algunos que querían probar el bistec Tomahawk y el chef le aseguró que él se ocuparía de nosotros. Salió 3 veces para hablar con mi esposo y reiterarle que estaba dispuesto a cuidarnos. Pedimos aperitivos de alitas, pepinillos fritos, tomates verdes fritos y tocino de Bruselas. Los aperitivos salieron bien y estaban buenos y frescos. DESPUÉS de los aperitivos, nuestra camarera vino a nuestra mesa para disculparse por no tener filetes Tomahawk para los chicos que pidieron uno. ¿EN REALIDAD? ¿Por qué el jefe de cocina nos dijo que nos complacería, especialmente cuando pedimos artículos específicos? Mi marido pidió volver a hablar con el chef. Salió y dijo que solo tenía 5 para la cena, en total... jajaja. Es inútil venir a hablar con nosotros en primer lugar. ¿La gente de nuestro grupo creía que estaba ebrio? Pedí un chuletón con hueso medio cocido. Cuando la comida finalmente comenzó a salir, estaban subastando cada plato... (conozca sus asientos y puntos de pivote, personas...) Tres de nosotros nos quedamos sin pedidos y esperamos unos 5 minutos. Se sacaron dos platos más y 2 personas no obtuvieron los acompañamientos correctos. ¿Adivina quién todavía no recibió su comida? ¡Sí, yo! El único bistec medio cocido. Tardaron unos 8 minutos (13 minutos en total solo para mí) y finalmente llegó mi pedido. SIN EMBARGO, no tenía hueso y estaba humeando en líquido, lo que provocó que se cocinara aproximadamente a fuego medio. ¡Un bistec de 50 dólares y tenía aproximadamente un 70% de grasa! Tuve que devolverlo y ya eran más de las 8 p. m. y cierran a las 9. Una pequeña señora sacó mi pedido en una enorme tabla de madera y se disculpó. Sinceramente, estaba muy avergonzada y resultó ser la gerente. Entonces, después de toda la confusión masiva, la gente no recibió los pedidos correctos y 3 de nosotros esperando nuestros pedidos, ¿finalmente viene a hablar con nuestro grupo? Este bistec era enorme y finalmente tenía un hueso, PERO estaba medianamente bien. Tenía un gran sabor y todos ya habían terminado de comer en ese momento, así que no dije nada más. El gerente se disculpaba continuamente, pero la gente no estaba contenta con la comida o el servicio. Los pisos estaban tan grasosos que casi me caigo yendo al baño. ¡Definitivamente necesitan volver a capacitar a su personal y conseguir ESTACIONAMIENTO! No volveremos. ¡Esta revisión no expresa realmente el desastre que sufrimos! Ten cuidado al venir aquí y llegar temprano. Si desea un pedido medio cocido y no tiene una decisión sobre lo que quiere porque no importa aquí. Obviamente se trata de administración y capacitación deficiente para el personal con el que nos encontramos.(Original)My husband and I have been here before, so we decided to treat his company to dinner last night. The place is beautiful, but it's a bit deceiving. We had 13-14 ppl for 6pm on a Wednesday! Since my husband was hosting for his employees, we got there around 5:40. Our server was Ashley and she was nice, but couldn't keep up by herself and it took so much time for every drink refill/bar reorder. The chef made his way to our table to talk to my husband about our party. He told the chef there were some that wanted to try the Tomahawk steak and the chef assured him that he would take care of us. He came out 3 times to speak to my husband and to reiterate how he was ready to take care of us. We ordered appetizers of wings, fried pickles, fried green tomatoes, and bacon brussels. The appetizers made it out fine and were good/fresh. AFTER the appetizers our waitress came to our table to apologize for not having Tomahawk steaks for the guys who ordered one. REALLY? Why did the head chef tell us he would accommodate us, especially when we asked for specific items?!? My husband asked to speak to the chef again. He came out & said he only had 5 for the dinner rush, in total...lol So pointless to even come talk to us in the first place. People in our party believed he was intoxicated?? I ordered a medium-rare bone-in ribeye. As the food started to finally make it's way out, they were auctioning each plate...(know your seating & pivot points ppl..) Three of us were left without orders and waited about 5 minutes. Two more plates were brought out and 2 people didn't get the correct side items. Guess who still didn't get their food? Yep, me! The only medium-rare steak.. It took about 8 mins (13 minutes total for just me) and my order finally arrived. HOWEVER, it wasn't a bone-in and was steaming in liquid causing it to upcook to about medium-well. A $50 steak and it was about 70% fat! I had to send it back and it was now, after 8pm & they close at 9. A little lady brought my order out on a huge wood board, apologizing. She was honestly very embarrassed and she turned out to be the manager. So, after all the massive confusion, people not receiving correct orders, and 3 of us waiting for our orders, she finally comes to speak to our party?? This steak was huge & finally had a bone in it, BUT it was about med/med-well. It had great flavor though and everyone was already done eating at this point, so I just didn't say anything else. The manager apologized continuously, but people were not happy with the food or service. The floors were so greasy, I almost fell going to the bathroom. They definitely need to retrain their staff and get PARKING! We won't be back.. This review does not truly express the mess we endured! Be careful about coming here and get there early. If you want medium-rare order rare and don't have your mind made up about what you want because it doesn't matter here..It's obviously management and poor training for the staff we encountered.

Cutely themed restaurant. Came for brunch on a weekend and it was fairly busy but we got seated immediately. The food was also good but the service was a bit slow.

In town only for the night. Our hotel concierge recommended this place. Boy am I glad she did. Took my beautiful wife here and Chef Anthony helped us make our food decisions. Everything was top notch.

(Traducido por Google) ¡Hazte un “sabor”!Este lugar fue una gran sorpresa. Paramos aquí en nuestro camino de regreso al sur de Illinois y no queríamos comer comida rápida. Buscamos en Google y este lugar parecía interesante, así que lo probamos. ¡Todo lo que puedo decir es que me encantó! Comí cada bocado. Absolutamente delicioso. Los empleados son muy agradables y realmente quieren que tengas una gran experiencia. Mary, nuestra camarera, fue atenta y ofreció recomendaciones al igual que 'Miss Lee'. Yo comí pavo relleno y mi prima comió pastel de carne. No tengo más que grandes cosas que decir. Superó mis expectativas. ¡Los panecillos con mantequilla de frutos rojos estaban deliciosos! El té dulce estaba fresco. El pavo estaba tan tierno y con un sabor maravilloso al igual que el relleno esponjoso y perfectamente sazonado. Conduciría más de una hora para poder volver a comer esta comida. ¡Hazte un "sabor" y pruébalo!(Original)Do yourself a “flavor”!This place was a huge surprise. We stopped here on our way back to southern illinois and didn't want to have fast food. We googled and this place looked interesting, so we gave it a try. All can say is I absolutely loved it! I ate every bite. Absolutely delicious. The employees there are so pleasant and genuinely want you to have a great experience. Mary, our waitress, was attentive and offered recommendations as did 'Miss Lee'. I had the turkey with stuffing and my cousin had the meatloaf. I have nothing but great things to say. It exceeded my expectations. The rolls with the berry butter were delicious! The sweet tea was fresh. The turkey was so tender with wonderful flavor as was the fluffy, perfectly seasoned stuffing. I would drive over an hour just so I could have this meal again. Do yourself a "flavor" and try it!

Came here for a date night with the wife. First time ever coming to the restaurant and we were both very pleased with the food, and service. It was a tad loud, but thats nothing out of the ordinary for 6pm on a Saturday evening anywhere in Evansville. I had the porkchops, and the wife had New York strip steak. Both were like butter when we cut into them. Such a great place to try, and we definitely added this to our go to restaurant list.

Food and atmosphere were fantastic! We stopped for breakfast on a Sunday morning. Went ahead and made reservations from their web page just in case. They were busy, but were able to seat us quickly.We're not familiar with downtown Evansville, but enjoyed driving up Main Street. They've done quite a bit of work to make their downtown area appealing. This restaurant is in a restored home and they've done an amazing job converting it into a restaurant.Our waiter was great. We gave service four stars instead of five, but I don't believe it was his fault. I would ask for him again without hesitation. I just believe he was given too many tables. But even then, he handled the situation well and deserved the extra tip.The food was the star, though. Can't wait to get back and try lunch and dinner, because breakfast was an absolute hit!

(Traducido por Google) Recientemente tuvimos un baby shower en una de las salas privadas de COMFORT. Trabajamos con Niki, quien fue muy paciente, respondió todos nuestros correos electrónicos y llamadas y nos permitió reunirnos con ella y ver la habitación varias veces. Niki fue increíble trabajando con nosotros en los arreglos de las mesas, los menús, la configuración y la decoración. Nuestro evento fue un éxito y el día del personal (el gerente general, un gerente y nuestra mesera Emily) fue increíble. Fueron muy amables, nos ayudaron a asegurarnos de que tuviéramos todos los utensilios para servir, decoración, almacenamiento, bebidas y un sinfín de otras cosas que necesitábamos. Hicieron que el día fuera genial. La decoración natural de la sala de los búhos complementó nuestro tema Bajo el mar aunque no lo esperábamos. Fue agradable tener el espacio decorado para que pudiéramos elegir no hacer nada más si no quisiéramos. Fueron flexibles con los elementos que usábamos para decorar y nos permitieron traer postres. Como siempre. La comida era excelente, todos los invitados estaban contentos. El estacionamiento fue fácil para un fin de semana y la habitación se adaptaba perfectamente a nuestras 20 a 25 personas. ¡¡¡Fue un día fantástico!!!(Original)We recently had a baby shower in one of the private rooms at COMFORT. We worked with Niki who was very patient, answered all of our emails, calls and let us meet with her and see the room several times. Niki was awesome working with us for table arrangements, menus, set up and decor. Our event was a success and the day of staff (the GM, a manager, and our server Emily) were incredible. They were so friendly, helped us make sure we had all the serving ware, decor, storage, drinks and endless other things we needed. They made the day great. The natural decor in the owl room complimented our Under The Sea theme even though we didn’t expect it to. It was nice to have the space decorated so we could chose not to do anything else if we didn’t want to. They were flexible on the items we used to decorate and allowed us to bring in desserts. As usual. the food was excellent, all guests were happy. Parking was easy for a weekend, and the room fit our 20-25 people perfectly. It was a fantastic day!!!

This was my first time visiting COMFORT for lunch- I've only been for dinner before. I was happy with the size and selection of the lunch menu. Enough of a variety without being overwhelming, and of course that strawberry butter was delish. I ordered the meatloaf with German fries and cucumber salad. Everything was perfect! My mom ordered the chopped steak (hers came with two patties) and eggs, which she said was also delicious. We both had enough to bring home leftovers.I've never been disappointed with the food, service or cleanliness the handful of times I've eaten here.

The food was very good. Our waitress was very attentive, we went with a group of 8 and the food came out pretty quick, however, my order was somehow lost and it took a few minutes to get it straightened out.

Seeking rich history, a delicious meal and relaxing atmosphere...COMFORT by the Cross-Eyed Cricket is the place to go. With building history dating back to the underground railroad, unique artifacts, and decor, you will enjoy exploring this restaurant. I started with the fried pickles... my favorite Southern appetizer. Then I tried the Buffalo Chicken Sandwich with German Fries and a side of Mac & Cheese. The sandwich was so plump and juicy with the perfect amount of glaze coating. German style fries were new for me, having onions mixed it, and it was surprisingly something I would enjoy more often. If you room left for a delicious dessert, ask what's available. The Oreo Cheesecake was freshly baked when I visited and made a great To-Go for me to enjoy back at my hotel. And our server, Jemyla, was so sweet and kind!

I don't usually give 5 stars, but this little gem deserves it. Our waitress, Miss Lee was awesome, and the food was fantastic. Pictured are Bacon Dippers, Pork Chops with German Fries, and Fried Okra, and Chicken and Dumplings with German Fries, and cream corn. They also make real southern brewed sweet tea .

Came here on a quick girl's trip/ birthday dinner. Had pork chops with fried cabbage, baked potato, roll and strawberry butter. My friend had Ma's meatloaf, German potatoes, creamed corn. We also had the Strawberry Cheesecake.Everything was fantastic! Ms. Lee was an exceptional server!!! Atmosphere is charming.Too bad I don't live here to come again. Servings were generous.

Alexis was friendly and attentive, the music and atmosphere were nice. That's it. The food was quite mediocre, and even the sprite was bad. I do not recommend and will not be returning. Don't order the Mac & cheese!

(Traducido por Google) Es un pequeño y agradable paseo desde el hotel Bally's. Tenemos nuestra comida para llevar, pero el interior es relajante con una linda decoración, especialmente el mostrador frontal hecho con la parte delantera de una camioneta Ford.Mi marido consiguió las 3 galletas y salsa. Sabían tan bien como olían. La salsa tenía un sabor ahumado único.Me dieron pollo y gofres. Muy bueno. Waffle belga esponjoso cubierto con pollo frito perfectamente cocido y espolvoreado con azúcar en polvo. Honestamente, fue increíble tal como está, sin extras, pero la mantequilla de fresa también fue una buena adición.(Original)It's a nice little walk from the Bally's hotel. We got our food to-go, but the inside is relaxing with cute decor, esp the front counter made out of the front end of a Ford truck.My husband got the 3 Biscuits & Gravy. They tasted as good as they smelled. The gravy had a smokey taste that was unique.I got the Chicken & Waffles... So good. Fluffy Belgium Waffle covered with a perfectly cooked Fried Chicken dusted in powdered sugar. Honestly, it was amazing as is, no extras but the strawberry butter was a good addition too.
